Amarnath yatra Threat : All vehicles to carry RF tag, special motorcycle squad formed by CRPF to provide security

The CRPF has formed a special motorcycle squad as part of its efforts to ensure foolproof security during the annual Amarnath yatra, scheduled to start in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, an official spokesman said on Monday.

He said some of these specially designed motorcycles were fixed with various life-saving equipment and could also double as “small ambulances”, carrying one person at a time besides the rider. “Keeping in view the convenience and security of pilgrims, the CRPF has prepared a special motorcycle squad, which on one hand, will ensure the security of pilgrims on the yatra route and on the other, will also be used as small ambulances for them,” the CRPF spokesperson added.
